I could really just write Wednesday weather as usual, i.e. low cloud and drizzle in a westerly gale. I cannot remember a winter with so much of this kind of weather.
The hardy club members were on the ball again with all sorts of work going on around the site. Steve Raine was to be found happily doing a bit of pruning to the low branches of the trees at the entrance. Ged and Phil scraped the peat from the area in front of the trailers with the JCB to test the effect that this will have on the access here which has always been muddy and difficult. The theory is that the underlying layer will support vehicles better and be mud free once the grass regrows. They then went on to replace a gate post in the car park which seemed to require a lot of physical work - no fancy post machines here.

| Steve happy with his work |

| Ged and Phil working hard as always. |
Mike Gadd used his time particularly well by taking and passing his Bronze C exam. Well done Mike.

| Mike is congratulated by CFI Don on passing his Bronze C paper in exemplary style |
After the work was done Phil flew the simulator with Don’s guidance with the aim learning to increase cross country speeds using different “MacCready” settings. Good idea to practice this before the good weather comes.
Steve
